NASB | 1 Corinthians 2:14 ¶ But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 2:14 ¶ But the natural [unbelieving] man does not accept the things [the teachings and revelations] of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness [absurd and illogical] to him; and he is incapable of understanding them, because they are spiritually discerned and appreciated, [and he is unqualified to judge spiritual matters]. |
Subject: How can anyone be saved? |
Bible Note: Emmaus, If you wish to say that the atonement was insufficient to save, but that works of men were needed to to complete the work of Christ, I can't stop you. But, you are dangrously wrong! We are saved by faith alone, but not by a faith that is alone. In other words: True saving faith will always be accompanied by good works, Just as a good tree produces good fruit. Keep in mind however that true good works are those that God has prepared fo us to do, and are not neccesarily what we consider to be good works. Eph 2:10 "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them." Hope this helps! John |
